Some say luck is something you're born with; others say it's something you create yourself. Then there are those who suggest you're lucky if you simply believe you are. So which is it?

It depends on who you are ... and when you ask! Fittingly on St. Patrick's Day today, Jupiter -- the planet associated with luck -- is in Aries, indicating that good fortune and action will go hand in hand. What's the action your sign can take to get your luck flowing?

ARIES: Work it!
As your sign-mate Thomas Jefferson said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it." Let your efforts add up. As you consistently endeavor to make your life the way you want it to be, you increase your odds that fortune will smile down on you.

TAURUS: Follow the recipe.
You've been lucky before, and it was no accident. Remember the steps you took then, and follow them once again. Don't leave anything out. When you repeat a successful combination of actions, not only does it

The birds are frolicking and the flowers are just beginning to poke out of the ground. Spring is one of those rare times of year when cleaning actually takes on a kind of ritualistic fun. With good weather coming on, we're able to open the windows, air out our homes and prepare for a brilliant summer! Here's what the stars have to say about your approach to creating a sparklingly clean abode.

Aries
Think of cleaning your home as your workout. Approach every task as if it were a calorie-burning adventure!

Taurus
Invest in a house cleaner. Why? Well, it's quite simple, actually: You really can't stand house-cleaning.

Gemini
Indulge in all those magazines that tell you how to get organized and what tools and cleaning agents you should use to get the gunk out. Even if you don't really do what they say, you'll have fun reading the magazines anyway.

Cancer
Employ your children! Make it a fun family activity for you and your little ones.

What is your purpose in life? Let the power of

This Valentine's Day, don't just date your guy -- seduce him! Each sign of the zodiac has his own preferences, weaknesses and hidden desires when it comes to sex. Consult your man's Sun sign and learn how to push this Valentine's Day off the charts -- and into the red!

ARIES: Exercise together.
He likes to see you sweat, and it turns him on to know he's with someone who can keep up with his high energy. When he challenges you, give him a run for his money! Then, for a perfect end to the workout, hit the showers together.

TAURUS: Cook for him.
Better yet, cook with him. The sensual Taurus man loves the aroma of good cooking, the chopping and steaming, and all the delicious tasting as you go. Be forewarned, though: He may want to eat dessert directly off your body.

GEMINI: Whisper in his ear.
The sign of communication will go mad for your hot breath tickling his lobes as you tell him sweet secrets and private murmurs meant just for him.

CANCER: Dare to be vulnerable.
You're an

It's not like your man has some secret agenda for Valentine's Day. Still, he may have some unaddressed needs -- either conscious or subconscious -- that will continue to go unmet until one of you addresses them. (Hint: It's not going to be him!)

ARIES: He wants to know he's the best you've ever had.
Go ahead and drive this point home by telling him about it mid-orgasm.

TAURUS: He wants you to understand his competitive instinct.
So what if he brags to his friend about his best golf score? If you roll your eyes, you're bound to deflate his manly ego. Instead, be his proud cheerleader and make him feel like a trophy-carrying king.

GEMINI: He wants your undivided attention.
Maybe he's the worst culprit when it comes to responding to a text or taking an ill-advised phone call in the middle of your date. But if you opt for the high road and show him your one-track mind, he'll get right onboard.

CANCER: He wants you to let him help.
Even when you can do it all by yourself ... and

Number one, the first, the alpha and the beginning. Indeed, New Year's babies have quite the high responsibility to carry on their steady shoulders!

The coming year plays out like the Katy Perry song: It's a cosmic growth hormone, and we're adolescents morphing into the new people we're going to be. This growth spurt for humankind bonds us together like a high school class, all going through it together. The changes may be small, but there are so many of them that, by this time next year, some of us will be unrecognizable from the people we are right now!

It starts right at the top of the year. There's a heavenly Happy New Year card in the form of the Quadrantids meteor shower the first week of January, ushering in the truly unusual 12 months to come. For starters, it's extremely rare to have four solar eclipses -- and two lunar eclipses -- in the span of a single year. This is the first time it will happen this century, and it will only occur five more times in the next 100 years. These eclipses are...

January 4: Solar eclipse in Capricorn

Heading back to school can be a tricky transition for kids, with many having to deal with new friends, new teachers and even new social dynamics. It's normal for your child to feel some anxiety about heading back to school, so based on your child's Sun sign qualities, here are some tips to help you support their transition!

Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

Paint the back-to-school experience as an adventure full for new possibilities, and your child will likely start to get excited about heading back. Mid to late August is a particularly intense time for your cardinal child, as powerful links between Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn show permanent changes occurring. Helping your child understand that onward and upward change is a normal part of life will make it easier for them to navigate any changes they may initially resist. You'll see new maturity
